Inventor: CASEY DAVID W
IPC: B31F1/28
Filed: 2011-02-28
Abstract: A method and system, involve the use of an air table, carrying a first single-faced web into a double backer by means of an air stream. The method and system for automatically changing the flute size in a corrugation process without stopping or slowing the overall corrugation process utilizes a first single-faced web having a first flute size and a second single-faced web having a second flute size. The first single-faced web is conveyed along a track into a double backer forming a first corrugated material. When a flute change sequence is initiated, the single-faced web is cut using a pressurized stream of water such that the single-faced web disengages with the double backer. Generally simultaneously, the second single-faced web is introduced into the double backer using an air jet, wherein a second corrugated material is formed.

Title: Arrangement and method for transferring energy to a vehicle by generating a magnetic field
Inventor: Florian Faulhaber
IPC: B60M7/00
Filed: 2015-05-13
Abstract: Energy is transferred to a vehicle by generating a magnetic field to induce a voltage in a vehicle receiver (fig 1, 4). Plural magnetic field generators T1 - T6 are individually controlled and arranged one after the other in a sequence along a vehicle travel path. A first electromagnetic generator T2 is located at a vehicle stopping location such as a bus stop, traffic light or intersection and a second generator T1,T3 is arranged along its travel path, where the vehicle may decelerate to halt at, or may accelerate to depart from, the stop position. The length of the second acceleration generator T3 may be greater than the length of the stop generator T2 and less than the length of a third generator T4 in the travelling direction. Controller 15 may separately control each generator by detecting a vehicle from the inductance in a loop alongside the generator. A generator may operate only when it is at least partially covered by the vehicle and not operate when a person, animal or foreign object is in its vicinity. Energy transmitted to the vehicle may charge a battery via a rectifier and charger (fig 1, 9, 6, 8).
